“A voice, romantic without being cloying, warm but not forced, Jonathan carries songs with an emotional weight that reaches your soul. At the same time he can swing with the kind of jazz suave that was patented by Mel Torme.” - Jazz Corner 

Jonathan or "Jonny," as I affectionately call him, has the rare gift of making every song unmistakably his own. He brings a depth and individuality to each of his performances. He's one cool cat! - Diane Schuur 

Young male jazz singers who have a great sound and are truly gifted are a rare breed these days. Jonathan Karrant is one of the very best of them. He was born to sing and swing with style. - All About Jazz
